How Quality Smith banished the stress caused by spam by moving to a reliable email spam solution with SpamTitan

Initially Quality Smith relied on a Barracuda appliance (Spam Firewall 200) to protect its email. Quality Smith found this solution did not provide them with the low maintenance overhead and high levels of functionality that was required.

The Stress Caused By Email Spam

Initially Quality Smith relied on a Barracuda hardware appliance (Spam Firewall 200) to protect its email. Quality Smith found this solution did not provide it with the low maintenance overhead and high levels of functionality that was required.

Before trialling SpamTitan, Quality Smith was getting about 300,000 spam messages per day. The average end-user was receiving about 10 pieces of spam per day.

Following the installation of SpamTitan, the daily spam levels dropped to less than 20,000 representing a decrease of over 93%. Due to the many frontline features incorporated in SpamTitan, 90% of the spam emails was blocked before even getting to the SpamTitan appliance.

Consequently one of the biggest differences with the previous solution was the time that was saved in dealing with peoples complaints and IT issues related to spam. According to Kevin ‘I never hear end-users complain about spam anymore. From a personal standpoint, I have not received a single piece of spam while under the protection of SpamTitan!’

The Reliable Email Spam Solution

At this point they began to evaluate other solutions. We downloaded a free 30 day SpamTitan trial and were very pleased that it was so easy to use and effective. “I liked very much the idea of being able to ‘trial before you buy’. said Kevin Bidwell, Information Systems Manager.
